Non-slip bath coating near Babbs Green

Non-slip bath coating in Babbs Green without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Babbs Green

There’s no area surcharge for Babbs Green. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths

Repair or replace in Babbs Green?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Babbs Green: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
